32.Demonstrates poor listening skills. Doesn’t listen carefully to questions or seems to have her own agenda that overrides the interviewer’s interest. Trends to go off in different directions from the questions being asked. Not a very empathetic listener both verbally and nonverbally. Seems to be more interested in doing the talking than focusing on the issues at hand. Apparently wants to take charge of the interview and be independent. The job really does require good listening skills!

33.Seems not too bright for the job. Answering simple interview questions is like taking an intelligence test. Has difficulty talking about past accomplishments. Doesn’t seem to grasp what the job is all about or the skills required. Seems confused and lacks focus. Should never have gotten to the job interview but had a terrific looking resume which was probably written by a professional resume writer for $500!

34.Fails to properly prepare for the interview. This is the most important mistake of all. It affects all the other mistakes. Indeed, failing to prepare will immediately show when the candidate makes a bad first impressions, fails to indicate knowledge about the company and job, gives poor answers to standard interview questions, and does not ask questions. In other words, the candidate makes many of the mistakes outlined above because he or she failed to anticipate what goes into a winning interview. Since you should be communicating your very best self during the interview, failing to prepare for it says something about how you deal with important things in your life and work. In this case, the employer and job were not important enough for you to prepare properly. That’s okay. The employer now knows the real serious you.

35.Closes the interview by just leaving. How you close the interview may determine whether or not you will be invited back to another interview or offered the job. Most interviewees fail to properly close interviews, as discussed in Chapter 12. At the very least, you need to summarize the interview, indicate continuing interest in the position, thank the interviewer for the opportunity to meet, ask when a hiring decision might be made, and ask for permission to call the interviewer within a week to learn about your status.
